FIFA Lifts Ban On Sri Lanka Football Federation
The world governing body FIFA on Monday lifted its suspension of the Sri Lanka Football Federation (FFSL). On January 21 this year FIFA had banned FFSL for violations of FIFA rules in administration. FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura conveyed in a letter to FFSL that the FIFA bureau had decided Sunday “to lift the suspension of the FFSL with immediate effect”. FIFA says the scheduled FFSL election on September 29 would be closely monitored by them while lifting the suspension.
